CHARLES VEHRING, OF NEWV YORK, N. Y.

INKSTAND AND FRAME.

EPECEPECATEOII forming part of Letters Patent No. 383,199, dated May 22, 1888.

(N'o model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, CHARLES VEHRING, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Inkstand and Frame, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a combined writing-pad, inkstaud, and frame, thetwo latter made in accordance with my invention; and Fig. 2 is a detail seciional elevation of the same.

The invention will first be described in connection with the drawings, and then pointed out in the claims.

My invention has reference only to the inkstand A and frame B, which may be of any suitable size, form, and construction. In this instance it is adapted to be applied to the base G of the writing pad, and is covered with leather or other suitable covering, (7, and is beveled at its front edge, as shown at d. In this front edge is formed the slot f, in which the arm D is adapted to have a vertical motion for operating the springcatch E of the ink-bottle. The spring-catch E is of the usual form of those commonly used in the so-called "safety-inlrstands, and the arm D is rigidly secured to the spring-catch. The main shell or casing F of iheink-bottle is made fast to the frame 13 of the inkstand'by the tongues of metal stamped out of the bottom thereof and turned outward under the lower edge of the frame B, as clearly shown in Fig. 2. In this manner the ink-bottle is securely held in place to resist an upward lift or pressure on the arm D for opening the ink-bottle cover G.

Having thus fullydescribed myinvention, 1 claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination, with the frame l3, ofthe inlcbottle A, spring-catch E, cover G, and the arm D, rigidly secured to the spring-catch E, and projecting into a slot, f, in the frame B, substantially as shown and described.

2. The spring-catch E, having the arm D rigidly secured to the said catch, substantially as described.

3. The casing F ofthe ink bottle formed with the tongues g, in combination with the springcatch E and arm D, rigidly secured to said catch, substantially as described.

4. The casing F, formed with the tongues g, in combination with the frame B, slotted at f and beveled at the front edge, the cover G, the springeatch E, and arm D, rigidly secured to the said springcatch and projecting into said slot, substantially as described.
